Not only does MABBR rescue and find homes for homeless bull breeds such as American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, American Bulldogs, Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Bull Mastiffs, mixed breeds, and other Mollasser-type dogs, MABBR also focuses on education, outreach, and assisting cities with drafting safer and more effective breed-neutral dangerous dog laws.

Update 5/2/08: Jinx had surgery yesterday

From Jinx's foster mom: She had her surgery yesterday morning and is doing very well. She stayed the night in the hospital, and I picked her up today at 5:00 pm when I got off work. She was very happy to see me, very alert on the ride home, went straight for her bed and passed out. She has a pain patch in her back that is delivering a constant pain killer. They found a fragment the size of a quarter, they didnt have to cut it out, it was free-floating in there. She has an incision about 6 inches long on her right back leg. She is supposed to be mobile in a couple of weeks, but the doctor says the scar tissue in her socket was pretty intense and she may never have full function of her leg. By removing the fragments, she will be in much less pain, and certainly have much better use of her leg. Thanks you to everyone who has donated towards her care and kept her in your thoughts. She is one of the best dogs I have ever met, and I have known many!

Update 4/28/08

Tommy is doing well. We are still waiting on further testing results but he is recouping from surgery quite well. Unfortunately our surgery bill for him came in $600 over the estimate, so our goal now has been raised.

Jinx has been scheduled for her surgery on April 30th.

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped us be able to get these amazing dogs the medical attention they so need. We are extremely grateful and very touched by your generous donations and how quickly everyone came forward to help. Thank you!!

Update 4/24/08: Tommy had surgery today

Thanks to the help of so many faithful MABBR donors, Tommy had his surgery this morning. The specialist was able to find the abscess core and to clean it out thoroughly. A drain was inserted to help with healing. They did a search of the connective tissue but could not find any foreign body, so we still don't have answers to what caused the abscess to occur. Samples were taken to be sent off to do further testing. Tommy will remain on antibiotics, and with the drain, it should allow any residual infection to come out rather than get sealed back up. The surgery did reveal that the surrounding tissue appeared normal and there were no other signs of problems beyond the abscess. So we are very hopeful that this is good news and Tommy will be back to his old self very soon. We will update as soon as the other test results come back.

Incredi-bulls for Adoption
MABBR's mission is to rescue great bully breed ambassadors and place them for adoption. Candidate MABBR dogs are selected from animal shelters across the Midwest. After evaluation and vetting, dogs are either fostered or boarded until their forever families are found.

Finding a Dog a Home
If you are looking to surrender a dog, our space is limited as we rescue all of our dogs from crowded animal control facilities and shelters. Please try your best to keep your pet - he/she is counting on you! Rehoming your Pet

If you are an animal shelter, rescue group, or individual who found a dog in need of a new home, please visit our Find a Dog a Home page for resources, tips and advice.

We couldn't do it without you!
Our generous supporters are key in saving lives. Without you, these dogs would not have a chance. Thank you for your kindness and support.

SNKC Chain of Reality

Featured New Beginning - A Perfect Match!

Beans formerly Deuce was adopted in May of 2007 by MABBR volunteer's Rachel and Mark. He was scared of his own shadow and refused to leave the house when he was first rescued though now he is now a
neighborhood staple. Beans loves to go for long leash walks with his parents around the Nelson Atkins museum and greets everyone who approaches him. Beans loves meeting small children and is especially fond of toddlers because they're at his eye level. Beans will begin his AKC Canine Good Citizen classes this summer and will eventually be evaluated for the therapy dog program. Beans' parents had fostered 18 dogs without a failure prior to Beans arrival, but within a day of Beans entering the house, his parents knew he was there to stay. It will be his one year adoption anniversary on Mother's day in May.

Pictured here is Beans and his foster brother (AVAILABLE!!!) Howie supporting their Kansas City Royals! They were just entered in the Royals "Dress your Pet" Contest!

In Memory of those we couldn't save in time....
Special thank you to Lisa Carestia for her donation in memory of Cisco, Cassie and Bowie, who sadly couldn't be saved in time. They will be forever missed along with so many others...
